Can someone give me some tips on general tadpole care. My daughter brought 5 home from school the other day and her teacher decided to make a project of it. Fun for us, but I bet some parents are cussing her. LOL There were 4 small tads and one larger tads. I separated them out into 3 different containers, with the large tad by itself. He's double the size of the others. No idea what these guys are and they are TINY. So, what is some general tad care? So far they are in the water they collected them from. I broke up some oak leaves for cover, and dropped in a tiny bit of fish food. What else?
